Thomas Bryan and Mike Gourley in the Wellington Access Radio studio Tune in to Thomas Bryan as he explores the diversity of disability issues, with co-host Mike Gourley. No Labels is a programme about your community with a focus on accessibility for all. The show looks at services which might assist you, and highlights topics and challenges that might pose barriers for older people, or those living with or experiencing disability. In each programme we interview someone from the community whose role, paid or voluntary, provides topical and current information relating to our community. Each show has a disability/accessibility focus and the issues this might pose for our community. Guests share about their role in the community, a little about themselves and their favourite music. Tune in every week, Tuesdays, at 1pm. If you want to get in touch with Thomas, send him an email – thomas.s.bryan@gmail.com February 25th Guest: Katie Querin, Arts Access Aotearoa My name is Katie Querin, I work as the Arts For All Activator for Arts Access Aotearoa. I grew up in the USA and immigrated to Aotearoa, by way of a year in Australia, in 2017. After seven years in Tāmaki I spent six months of 2024 traveling around the North Island before settling in Pōneke in July last year to start my role with Arts Access Aotearoa. Previously I worked as a stage manager, traditional tall ship sailor, and arts accessibility advisor. Through my former accessibility work I led the development of several new accessible programmes in theatre and increased accessibility to disabled artists I connected with. My experience as an autistic and disabled person blends with my professional experience to inform my current mahi.
